GEICO standing up to BIG PHARMA? WoW!
TalmudVision (TV) in the USA — one of the few countries that allows Big Pharma drug ads, which I’ve heard may no longer be required to include the crucial, side-effects disclaimers — beautifully amplified here 🙂

Boyz II Men: Side Effects – GEICO
While admiring from Anchorage’s Coastal Trail the s-curves of a waterway that flows into Cook Inlet, I asked a nearby bicyclist if he knew more about this. Did he ever!
Bob told me how he personally tracked the little known, Fish Creek to its headwaters and documented its fascinating journey that is often hidden. He sent me the links to his meticulous research, and gave me permission to share.
Less than a mile from our house:

The magic of the Northern Lights
In the high latitudes of Alaska, the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, are a light show like no other. Lee Cowan travels to Fairbanks to witness the magical, even spiritual experience that viewing these extraordinary phenomena can be, and talks with photographer Ronn Murray about capturing the Aurora.
This aired while I was watching the Scottish Open golf tournament today. I visited there years ago, shortly after watching ‘Braveheart,’ to get a feel for this land — driving on the left side of the road. Some of the landscape is similar to Alaska.

Amazing Grace – Moscow Easter Festival 2015
Amazing Grace is arguably one of the most recognisable songs in the English-speaking world. This version was arranged for us by our very own Doug Harrington with the help of Rasmus Krigström. This recording is from a concert held in the “Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother and Peter and Paul” in Moscow in the beginning of May of 2015.
Doug admits that arranging a song with such dignity and that already has been done in countless different versions was a hard task. The inspiration for this arrangement came from visioning what it would be like to ascend to heaven.
Soloists are Emanuel Roll, Mattias Larsson and Hritul Karim.
One of the problems with ebooks…
Also, I’ve heard Kindle can change the content or delete ebooks even after they’re downloaded.
And books can be highlighted and written on.
I love this song: the performance and its message!
Audio is better in this one.

Det är en ros utsprungen – Jan Sandström
Det är en ros utsprungen av Jesse rot och stam. Av fädren ren besjungen,
den står i tiden fram, en blomma skär och blid, mitt i den kalla vinter,
i midnatts mörka tid.
There is a rose that springs up from Jesse’s root and stem. By venerable fathers extolled, that stood in former times, a flower blushing and gentle, amidst the cold winter, in a dark midnight-hour.

Above and Beyond | a collaboration with Koenigsegg
Passion, attention to detail and a strong drive to push boundaries are all characteristics that Hasselblad and Koenigsegg have in common. We visited Koenigsegg factory in Southern Sweden to explore that synergy and collaborated with their team to create a visual representation of the journey and hard work that goes into producing a finished car from concept, design and development to production.

Though these young Redwoods are not at all close to being the largest, this fantastic photo helps viewers experience the awe of what it’s really like to experience this. The little girl looking up with arms over her heart makes it. [The heart is more than a pump].

Surprisingly, these Redwoods are in Australia, as the story below explains.

California dreaming: the redwoods of the Otway Ranges
This isn’t the coast of northern California. It is the Otway Ranges in western Victoria, thousands of kilometres from the redwoods’ natural home.
Hidden down an old unsealed logging road near Beech Forest, not a lot is known about the Aire Valley redwoods.
Planted as a softwood logging experiment in the 1930s, their initial growth was slow but eventually, they started to shoot upwards at a rapid rate. The trees were never cut down and have now grown to a height of about 60 metres [197 feet].
Forestry expert Roger Smith, who has written a book on the Otways redwoods, thinks they could grow to almost twice that height in the next 70 years.
That would make them some of the tallest trees in the world. “Hyperion”, a redwood in northern California, holds the title of the tallest tree in the world at 115 metres [377 feet].

(GLARING Hypocrisy) Weather modification has drastically changed skies and weather systems across the globe, especially in the last ten or twenty years. Go anywhere in the world and it’s quickly apparent that the same heinous crimes are being committed, and no matter which terms are used — chemtrails, geoengineering, solar radiation management (SRM), stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), and so on — the results are Frankenstein-inspired skies, weird weather and lacklustre light. The skies are streaked, smeared, filled with bizarre cloud formations, white, grey or, at best, a chalky blue. Sunshine is greatly diminished and when it shines it’s extremely rare for the earth to be bathed in warm, yellow light. The [unimpeded] golden hour, a gift for photographers, has all but disappeared. …
